In October while the Louisiana team continued with the data and policy analyses, Senior Program Associate David Cloud and Project Director Sara Sullivan held a call with Louisiana DOC (LADOC) site partner Seth Smith and Secretary James Le Blanc to discuss the agency’s intentions to close Angola’s Camp J restricted housing unit as well as to invite the LADOC to apply for a new grant from Vera’s Center on Youth Justice that would offer technical assistance to convert space into a young adult facility. Additionally, the team requested from LADOC the policies for the Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women (LCIW) to further the policy analysis and offer more tailored recommendations. Lastly, the team has remained in contact and hopes to set up a meeting with Mass Design Group, a Boston-based architecture firm, to discuss providing assistance to the LADOC as it decides how to repurpose Camp J from a max custody, tiered unit.
